Kopaonik is a good ski resort in Serbia and also very affordable, but the only problem is that is about 5 hours bus ride from Belgrade. It is a bit of a mission to get to but well worth it for beginners and intermediates. The resort centre is pretty compact but has a really nice atmosphere...if you are looking for a different experience to skiing in Austria / France Kopaonik is the place for you!
